1. I haven’t posted to the blog in almost 2 weeks now. It’s been a quiet summer so far - too hot to do much of anything at the moment. I’ve had a few sessions that were scheduled for June/July call to reschedule for later as it’s just not safe for the kids to be out in this heat - especially when the heat index is still 110 at 6pm!
2. Ten on Tuesday still gives me heart palpitations because some Tuesdays it’s just hard to think of 10 things that might sound halfway interesting. Bear with me!
3. Jack continues to crack me up daily with his conversation and his little mind. Most things that happen at home are now being blamed on Daddy. “Jack, did you take my rings off the night stand?” “No, Mommy…Daddy did it”. And on and on it goes!
4. I just realized this very morning that my son will go to kindergarten NEXT YEAR. Why did I think I had at least another couple of years before this happened? It made me stress out just a bit for a minute - and then I started stressing out wondering if I’m truly this clueless about everything else - and then I decided that I really did know he would be in kindergarten next year - but I’m just in denial. And that’s the story I’m going with…
5. I am trying to decide between buying a new lens and buying a treadmill. I really want the new lens - but I think my body needs the treadmill more. I think I’ll flip a quarter for it.
6. I checked out a new place to shoot this past weekend - The Aboretum in Memorial Park. I didn’t get a chance to walk around hardly any of it - just a shortways down one trail, but I wasn’t really feeling the love for it. Does anyone go here regularly? I wanted to love it there and have a great place to shoot - but the trail I went down didn’t impress me very much.
7. If I could just crawl back into bed today - I would in a heartbeat. My allergies are kicking in today despite my vigilant inhaling of Zyrtec every night before bed.
8. RAIN! We got it!! It stormed at our house around 8pm last night - big rolls of thunder, loud cracks of lightening, and no electricity for almost 2 hours. Loved the rain and stormy part - no electricity - not so much. We were having flashbacks to Ike when we didn’t have power for 16 days. Jack was very worried about the power and kept asking when the man would come fix it. He thought the flashlights were fun for about the first 20 minutes and after that the novelty wore off and he was back to asking every 2.1 seconds “when’s the man going to come fix the lights?”
9. We were invited to come over and swim with Jack’s friend James this past Saturday and we spent the better part of a couple of hours playing in the pool. The boys loved jumping in the water, jumping out, jumping back in…it just went on and on! How do boys have so much energy for this kind of thing? We left their house, went home for an hour or so, and then met more friends at the Aboretum, took some pictures, had dinner at California Pizza Kitchen, and then onto the Dessert Gallery after that. Jack still didn’t pass out until after 10pm that night. I want that energy stored up in a bottle so I can add some to my coffeee every morning.
10. Jack likes to see pictures of himself on my blog so I’ll end #10 with a picture of him I’ve shared before - but with different processing this time!
